What is the FBI?
The Forensics and Biotechnology Institute is a three-year program where core classes like English, History, Math, and Science are all centered around the themes of Forensic Science and Biotechnology. It is considered a “school within a school” where students learn about the impact Biotechnology has on the world around us, important scientific laboratory skills, as well as college and career readiness skills in order to pursue any post high school goals. The program is based on California's Partnership Academy (CPA) model, which emphasizes hands-on, engaging and authentic real world learning experiences. (California Education Code Sections 54690–54697)
